“Through the dancing poppies stole A breeze most softly lulling to my soul.”
- John Keats, Endymion (bk. I, l. 681)
(I know this not because I'm a genius when it comes to flowers but because my children, like all Israeli children, learn this sort of thing in kindergarten and name the wildflowers for me.)

I love poppies. The desert yellow ones are starting to come out now and they are so cute just dancing all over the desert.
Exquisite
What a pretty flower and the shade of red is AWESOME.

Wonderful quote to go with your sweet poppy, so beautifully captured, like a piece of a Monet painting.

Poppy is my dog's name! Lovely photo; is it recent?

Thanks. It is recent - just this past Saturday in fact :).

So beautiful, your flower and the Keats.
You're lucky to have kids around who know. I can never keep the flower names straight.
What a lovely subject to teach in Kindergarten. (Beautiful, as usual.)
Such a knife sharp and yet fragile poppy, swaying in the wind.
My poppies can be seen in June...
I wish the Gulfstream could bring some warmer climate.
I suppose that we parents can learn a thing or two from our kids...The poppy is gorgeous, small in stature yet such a powerful ruby that jumps at us, inversely proportional to its small size. So wonderfully captured!
it's wonderful that your children can name the flowers
I could use a tutorial
lovely flower
nice picture I can remember selling silk flowers each year when I was a kid for a charity

so pretty! I can only seem to grow the orange ones. I've tried to grow the red ones but they never seem to work. I'd love to run through a field of red poppies like in the Wizard of Oz.
